    Yup. A TA is reached and when its all signed and done, up to 6k signing bonus for a two year contract plus retroactive pay going back over a year amounting to up to 12k gran total. FOR EACH TEAMSTER TECHNICIAN. More floating holidays, increase in pay, standardized union work rules and holidays, vacations, ect... Of course, how much you receive is based on factors such as time with company at various levels, of which details I will not discuss here, but you say what you want about a union. When the votes get ratified, I'll think about your responses here against uions as I drive all the way to the bank. Did your non-unionized work force in all your years of loyal service ever receive a ten grand check in their hand just for doing the same job that they did yesterday? We have a great culture at work, but we don't tolerate management treading on us. We will pay the union dues to see that this stays that way.

    I am a former NW employee and my wife is a current NW/DL CSS. I have seen what THIS union has done for Northwest the last 20 years... NOTHING!!! I happy that you feel that the union has done great by you, but you are in the minority. It's like a person who has won 100 million in the lottery telling everyone else how great the lottery is and that they should spend everything they have buying tickets.
    Please note that my comments are not directed at the pilots & fa's... I do not have knowledge of their contracts and thus can not give an opinion... At least an educated one

    DO you DELTA people that post here that vote against having a union realize that being a union member is GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR PILOTS? And ALPA is the strongest union around. They take good care of their pilots. NWA employee? I take it you were never in a union were you? And if you were in the union at NWA, as a tech with AMFA you were definately in the brunt end of a bad contract/managment situation. Sorry about that one. I never said the union was great and that you always hit the lotto with a union contract. I did say, however, if you read between the lines, YOU ARE A FOOL IF YOU DON'T UNIONIZE IN THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY! (Being stuck on stupid about unions in general is your problem.) I bet you the pilots at Delta have a union don't they? Sure they do. You'll never see a pilot in the airline working without a contract. Your CEO's work on contracts too. Do you expect pilots and FA's to be the only work groups that rate having a union? You don't feel rampers, technicians, gate agents have the right to collective bargaining? FOOLISH THINKING. The smartest groups organize. The other work groups get scared off easily by their own fellow co-workers misinformed against being union.
